Autumn has always been my most favorite time of year. To me it signals a new beginning. It seems like the best of both worlds... the heat of summer is gone and the coldness of winter has not yet set in, everything looks gorgeous from the trees to the leaves, and I am left in this zone where everything seems right with the world.

I also find fall to be the most fashionable time of year. I get excited when I hear the words cardigans, sweaters, layering, sparkle, boots, or see the lush fall colors of burgundy, taupe, winter white, various shades of browns, rich jewel tones, and of course Outerwear! Not to mention how giddy I get when I see the fat, fashion-laden September issues of my favorite fashion magazines lining the store shelves!

While I understand the need for seasons to change, and I do love unique aspects from all other seasons, autumn has stolen my heart, and I don't want it back.

Forever Autumn is about looking forward to each new phase of your life and appreciating what it took to get there (after all summer had to come first). It's about owning your style and being the best you can be. Most importantly it's about being inspired by those around you, and celebrating what you love and want from life.

What inspires you? I know I know, it’s an age-old question
that can make some people squirm and jump immediately to provide a surface
level answer. For others, however, this question can cause much deeper
reflection.

When I look at what has provided me inspiration throughout
the years, I am always pleasantly surprised.

My earliest fashion inspirations have been my mother and
sister. Growing up these two always made sure my looks were coordinated from
dress to hosiery/sock, shoes, undergarments. I was always looking fly as a
little girl with these two at the helm.

Creatively, I am inspired by anyone who uses their creative
skills to do things that they love. I have always wished that I had a more
defined creative skill set. If I knew I was an awesome painter, or singer, or
designer, it would be thebomb.com. However, my creative skills seem to be a bit evasive.

I’m
currently on a journey to unearth my creative skills ‘cuz I know I’ve got
creativity stirring (you can run, but you can’t hide, forever). But there will
be more on that journey documented here.

I know it’s a simple picture. But when I saw it I
immediately thought of goals/visions/dreams being the sparkles that I am
putting out there to take flight to the world unknown. Deep, huh?

Welcome to Forever Autumn.
HI, I’m Krystle and I’m just a girl trying to find her (creative) place in the world. I love almost all things imaginative, inspiring, and sparkly. My love of these things has led me to create this outlet where I can hopefully inspire someone to live out their passion.
